Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Nunchaku

Dear Sir or Madam;

On Monday the 15th my friend Bobby and I were put under arrest and charged with PC 12020(A)(1) (MANU.SELL UNDETECT FIR) for carrying a nunchaku that my freind Bobby was concealing in his jacket at the time of arrest. I was charged along with becuase it admitedly belonged to me!

I think he should have been charged with PC 12020(A)(3) ( carrying concealed) and me PC 12020(A)(1). The booking agent, however, said that they arresting officer made a mistake and should have only arrested him.

If you have any advise or opinions regarding this case it would really be appreciated!

Thank you

Hello---I am an Attorney member of the website. You say that "admitedly" the weapon was yours---did you make a statement that it was yours? This is not a simple matter, and to properly respond, we will need a bit more info. You may email me per the address below. Thanks, George Woodworth

The best of advice and opinion won't do you the slightest good unless you hire competent counsel to defend the charges. The facts offer some issues in your defense, of not possessing them at the time of arrest. Contact me if interested in hiring counsel to do so.
